Your child can get in an accident or bite on something hard, causing a loose tooth. If your child has a loose baby tooth, keep in mind that the tooth is supposed to come out eventually. They'll start to lose their baby teeth around the age of five or six. 

However, sometimes one of your child's adult teeth can become loose. One of their baby teeth might become loose before it's time for it to come out. 

Our dentist will evaluate your child's loose tooth. They'll perform x-rays as necessary to determine the best course of action. 

One or more of your child's teeth can get knocked out for various reasons. They can include:

• Getting hit in the face with a ball
• Tripping or falling
• Running into something

While knocked-out teeth are common, they can be a scary situation. It's important to know what steps to take if this happens to your child. Follow the following steps if your child loses a tooth:

• Control the bleeding
• Locate the tooth
• Pick it up with a tissue or cloth (don't touch the root)
• Place it in a plastic bag with milk

You don't have to worry about saving the tooth if it's a baby one. If it's an adult tooth, you'll need to locate it and bring it to the dentist. Your dentist will try to save the tooth, implanting it back into your child's mouth. 

Teeth can crack or chip at any time due to poor oral health. Fractured teeth that are dental emergencies are typically caused by a type of trauma. This can include getting hit in the face or falling. 

Get your child to a pediatric dental office if they chip one of their teeth. The dentist will determine the right dental treatment to ensure optimal oral health. 

You must seek urgent dental care if you believe your child's jaw is broken. Some signs that it might be broken include:

• Swelling and bruising on their gums, lips, or chin
• Misshapen or crooked jaw
• Loose or missing teeth
• Numbness or tingling on lower lip or chin 

The treatment your child receives is based on their condition. They'll require urgent dental care if they're experiencing any of the above symptoms. 

Toothaches can be caused by various things. This includes:

• Trauma
• Decay 
• Abscess

A toothache might signify there's an ongoing oral health issue that you're not aware of. Get your child prompt emergency care to address the issue.
